i respectfully disagree with some of your choices. specifically with best actress, best supporting actor, and (depending on my mood) best song :)

I'm having a hard time understanding the Mahershala Ali hype for Best Supporting Actor. I watched Moonlight last night and while it was certainly a beautifully made movie I wasn't even close to awestruck by the end credits. I was actually more impressed by both Dev Patel's performance in Lion and Michael Shannon's performance in Nocturnal Animals. Mahershala Ali's role seemed quite small in comparison and there were no particular scenes that made a lasting impression on me or felt like an "Oscar winning" moment. I feel like Dev Patel especially demonstrated a wider range of emotion.

It's a subtle role in every aspect of the word. The academy does seem to like these kinds of roles. Mark Rylance won last year in this fashion. For me, I thought Ali was able to convey serious emotion through very subtle facial expressions and body language. That last scene at the dinner table stayed with me throughout the whole film. The swimming scene was also just cathartic in my eyes. I certainly wanted more after the film ended but I thought what we got was enough to win the award which is what I'm going to guess is going to happen. I wouldn't be outraged if Hedges or Shannon won. They were fantastic too. Haven't seen Lion. Bridges was...well, Bridges.

i actually think Manchester by the Sea is going to take best Original Screenplay.

djchameleon 02-26-2017 05:23 PM
I'm hedging my bets on Mahershala Ali based off of his Golden Globes win.

They handed Beatty a duplicate of the Emma Stone best actress win envelope for La La Land instead the actual best picture envelope. That's why he looked at it a number of times
and kept pausing, finally Faye just saw La La Land and announced it. You could see immediately people with headsets on stage running around. Major F-up on the Oscar's
part but I thought the La La Land folks handled it 100% classy and gracefully. As did the Moonlight folks obviously thrust into an extremely uncomfortable situation.

Surreal stuff though.

Well, ya. Whoever was running things backstage won't be working in Hollywood again any time soon.

The Damon vs. Kimmel running gag all night was ****ing hilarious though.
